Arkesden is a small rural village and civil parish in the district of Uttlesford in north‑west Essex, England. Set amid rolling farmland a few miles from the market town of Saffron Walden, it retains a picturesque character of timber‑framed and brick cottages centred around a medieval parish church.
Historically agricultural, Arkesden still feels quintessentially countryside but now also functions as a quiet residential and commuter community for people travelling to Cambridge and London. The village has a close‑knit social life with a village hall, local events and a network of public footpaths that make it popular with walkers exploring the Uttlesford countryside.
